Saturday, February 6, 1926 CO-OPERATIVE STUDENT GOVERNMENT? ; In the State College Technician we notice a student's letter that either the printer or the editor saw fit to place in the editorial column. We understand tlt"-qnjte a number of Carolina men attended the State dances, and although the letter casts reflection on students of no school, some of ours are more than likely among those that are not mentioned. The letter goes: ''Is the morale of our dances being lowered? ' Probably you haven't taken time to think about this question, but the situation is coming to be very fcompley. Our i campus dances have always been of the highest type and. have received favorable comment from the administration. Let's' keep them that way. , , "One of our sister institutions has just undergone, the misfor- tune of having its dances barred on account of drunkenness and disorder. Are , we to meet the same fate at the hands of oth . ers? 1 "At , several of our recent dances it has been noted that there were quite a number intox icated. Four-fifths of these were students of other institu tions. They are away from home and we have no jnrisdic; Hon over them. They are at will to do as they please; At the last dance there were several fights which took place and oth er disorders which could be elim inated. This leaves a bad im pression on the mothers of the visiting young ladies and on the. people as a whole, for the impression is left that they are State College students. Are we going to have State College standards lowered by others? Think it over and let's do some thing in this connection." "Let's do something in this con nection" concludes the writer. And what's to be done? V , The State College - students, and the German Club too, certainly, should be ready to take precautionary steps before their next dances, if the conditions related in the letter are true. This school has had an oc casional, bit of trouble with visiting students, but we do not recollect of their indulging in any "several fights" at the local dances. Is the cooperative intercollegiate student government to come in? Visiting students have no right to violate the honor code at another school. In case of violation, the schools are certainly entitled to re dress and protection against in fringement upon hospitality. OPEN FORUM To the Editor: UTOPIAN FORUM At the last meeting of the Phi Assem bly I was fined one dollar for hot voting on the question that had been discussed Embellished stories and open forum let ters have informed the campus in gen eral of what resolutions havebeen dis cussed in the Phi and Di during their past two meeting's, so I will not delve into the discussion any more than to state that I did not care to vote either for or against the much discussed reso lution in its exact form. I did not and do not want to see the Di and Phi die or even consider a plan whereby they would be merged into any form other -than that which they now have. Yet I was and still am interested in, the formation of an open' forum in the University. As I understand it there were about three men in the Di and seven in the Phi who voted in favor of the resolution so why let these men secure honorable discharges from the societies and form an open forum if they so desire. These men have vowed to their sincerity. Therefore I am prone to look on the whole affair as promising when I recall the work of Martin Luther Erasmus, Roger Williams, Zwingli, and others. It has been truly said that "from small acorns large oaks grow." There is' a convincing cogency of evi dence that an open forum would bring back the days when oratory was at its zenith here. Many students who do not belong to either of the societies for various reasons would take part in a forum, according to my belief. The time is not malapropos for the "reformer" to begin laying a- foundation for such an organization as a forum if the plans are not surreptitiously ma- neouvered. The proponents of the recent ly discussed resolution have said, that they could obtain Gerrard Hall for such an undertaking. So in view of this fact, I am going to outline what might sound like a Utopian forum. I do not claim the plan to be as wise as the Cu man sybill or a perfect paragon; nor am I concocting the scheme for any oth er than altruistic interest The sugges tion comes from no prediliction for a forum, but since some men have shown that they are not satisfied with the status quo of the societies, I opine that they should carry out their predetermined plans without the aid of the societies. The men who were in favor of a forum are perspicacious' students, so I suggest that they get together and form an open forum, calling t "Cooper Forum", or "Cooper Union" in honor of its chief perpetrator and protagonist, or any oth er name they may, deem appropriate. There is a copious supply of students here with an outward imperturbability who do not belong to either the Di or Phi that the forum or union could draw upon. They could elect officers, have reg ular meetings, debate and discuss cur rent issues, and have an efficacious in fluence on the campus in general. If the forum had a spasmodic flutter of life or made an ignominious run-and finally became extinct,' there would be no reflection on the societies and they could continue and rejoice over the fact that they kept their status quo. If on the other hand, a potent forum rose out of the embers of an otherwise total loss, the two societies could only wish it well and do their best to continue in -their august forms. I am merely submitting the plan be cause I believe there- is some commend able logic in it, "and I sincerely hope that it will not arouse anyone's dander J. T. Madry. Mrs. Coolidge May Attend Playmaker Performance Mrs. Calvin Coolidge, who is a mem of Pi Beta Phi sorority has been cor responding With Katherine Batts, one of the Carolina players who is making the northern trip with the Playmakcrs and who is a member of Pi Beta Phi also, about the appearance of the Play makers in Washington Saturday the 14. Judging from the letters it is very like ly that the President, and his wife will attend the performance by the Univer sity players. - 1 Alumni of the University in the capitol will have a joint meeting on the 14th to attend the performance in a body. A number' of senators and representa5 tives will also be there. RALEIGH TIMES LAUDS DI SENATE EDITORIALLY Think Its Invitation Gave Al Smith Best Opportunity He Has Ever Had From South. While agitators agitate and rant over the senescence and senility of the DI Senate, one of the leading state dallies comes along and pitches in a compliment that can hardly go without notice. It was recently announced that the Di had extended an invitation to Gov. Al Smith, of New, York and poslble presi dential ' candidate in 1928, to come to Chapel Hill and make an address. Since then the secretary of Gov. Smith writes and declines the invitation, expressing his appreciation for the interest that the Senate has shown in him. Perhaps Mr. .Smith would not have disposed with the Di invitation so sum marily if he could have read a recent editorial comment in the Raleigh Times. That daily thinks that the Di Senate is quite a prominent and Influential organi-1 zation yet, and lauds it right and left The editorial in the Raleigh . Timet runs thus. Di Society Invites Al "The Di Society that's short for the Dialectic Literary Society of the Uni versity of North Carolina had invited Gov. Al Smith, of New York down for the purpose of making' a speech. . No word has as yet been received as to whether Al will accept the invitation or not, but his would-be hosts, who will, of course, provide a bigger hall than their own nd share their guest with the whole University, have hopes. ! ! When one reflects on the semi-sacred, as well as profane, history of the Di society its hopes seem justified. An in vitation or request of the Dialectic Lit erary society is not to be dismised sum marily. Only one ever was, and that by the late Senator Benton of Missouri, who refused to send his portrait in oil to those who had cooked his collegiate goose for him. 1 But the gentleman from Missouri, who had been shown the door by the University of North Carolina, was embittered, no doubt "Zeb Vance was wont to say At least, we have heard him quoted a hundred times as having said that the Dialectic Literary society was the most dignified body,, short of the United States senate, in which.he ever sat. That was probably before Zebhad had much experience with the senate.- Before he had completed his service with that august assemblage we are confident he would have given the decision - for all time and against all comers in favor of the Di. "And the Di has dignity left. It had it in the , earlier days of the century when it cost a frolicsome sophomore or junior four-bits a biscuit or buckeye to help the freshman feel at home on initi ation night The crime was called 'dero gating from the dignity of the society, and a member who exhibited a streak of irreverence was seldom allowed to rise higher in officialdom than the post of Censor Morum. at tlje Cjmrcije Calendar Saturday, February 6 7:00 P.

Many Needy Men to Get College - Education. The January issue of the Alumni Re view bears on the inside of its front cover an explanation of the University Self-Help Bureau, operated by the Y. M. C. A. and of how the work is carried on. Mention is made of the fact that the number of self-help students increases in proportion to the growth in size of the student body and that there is on the average a 10 per cent increase every year -in the number of self-supporting students. More than 70 per , cent of the student body are self-supporting, either in part or totally. This support is by assuming loans to be paid back after graduation, by work during the va cation, or by borrowing money which is to be paid back after graduation. About 10 per cent of these earn from half to all of their expenses, while the remaining SO per cent earn from mere pocket change to near half of their expenses. For many years the "Y" has rendered self-help service, in one way or another, from the time that the only thing done was the listing of work calls and the posting of such a list where students might see it Now the General Secre tary gives 35 per cent of his time to the bureau, the office secretary 90 per cent of her' time, and the corresponding sec retary 25 per cent of hers. A bureau of five departments is now in operation, the work being carried on under the following major divisions: 1. Correspondence and Literature Hundreds of letters are written each year to inquirers after self-support op portunities at the University. Pamphlets and bulletins on the subject are mailed to all inquirers. " 2. Counsel and Case Work Financing a college education simply means putting over a practical business enterprise. We file all information on the most approved methods of doing the thing, then take over each individual case in all its de tails and try to help work it out to graduation. 3. Job Hunting and Job Assigning In Swain Hall and other eating places about 100 waitersbips are assigned. To other types of permanent work about 150 students are assigned and in agen cies, short jobs, or daily assignment some 400 or more additional men work while in school. The majority of these men either regularly or at some time deal with the bureau. Much work is done during the spring helping students to locate summer jobs also. 4. Field Work Two distinct phases of self-help are now being started out in the Estate: (a) The bureau is prepar ing., literature and laying plans for a College ' Savings Account Movement among grammar and high school boys in every town in the State, beginning with the sixth grade. : (b) A College Loan Fund Movement, seeking to establish a loan fund in every town in North Caro lina for the boys going to college from that town. . ' - The Savings Account and Loan Fund together should make possible higher education for every boy In the State. ; 5, Research and Records-1-We are con stantly searching for means of putting through an ever-increasing number of needy boys. The general problem must be 6olved in the general light of experi ence and study. WORK ON PERSON HALL . PROGRESSING SLOWLY la One of Campus' Oldest Buildings Being Converted Into Storage Room for Library. Work on old Person ; Hall, the old pharmacy building, which is being con verted into a storage building for the library is, on account of the Inclement weather, progressing rather slowly, i The old partitions' of the pharmacy buildiiut have been torn down and the constructing of new partitions, so buQt as to conform to library storage expe diency, is going forward rapidly. All of the old pipes from the power plant have been removed, and, due to the im provement of the steam power plant transmission Hue, new pipes and equip ment totalling several hundred dollars is being laid; the radiators for the new library storage building are being taken from the South building. As soon as the underground work has been finished new floor especially adapted to the use of libraries will be laid. The present lighting system which is of very super annuated nature is being entirely pulled rlnwn and. as soon as the interior work is finished, a modern library lighting sys tern will be installed by the University Consolidated Service Plants, t The existing style of external architec ture will be made pleasing to the eye by an addition of several coats of paint, the replacing of all broken window panes, loosened bricks, etc., new modern interior-locking doors will take the place of the existing portals.' However, the existing style of outside architect will not be changed. No new windows, doors skylights, frescoes, embalutures, or en trance ways will be built; this is due to the fact that Person Hall is one of the four or five oldest buildings on the cam pus of the University, and according to Mr. Woolen, business manager of the University who, is supervising work on both Old South and Person Hall, states that it is the plan of the officials of the University and of the Board of Trustees of the University to retain as near as possible the original beauty of the struc tures. The additional storage space will, ac cording to Mr. Baker, of the Library staff, care for the present needs of the University for not more than a period of two years. In addition to using Person Hall as a storage building for the hous ing of little called for books and old and rare documents and curiosities in the west' end of the office of the University Press wllj be sheltered. The University Press is under the direct supervision of W. T. Couch. The new building will house 25,000 volumes. A class rodm and a womens' rest room will be built in the west end, but as yet it is un decided whether the class room will be used for teaching purposes or not. INTEREST IN WINTER FOOTBALL INCREASES Second Week of Practice Is Marked by a Slightly Larger Percentage of Attendance. Tlie second week of winter football was inarked by a slightly larger percent age of attendance than the preceding days of practice. - y Monday, especially, was the occasion for a record gathering of hopeful fol lowers of the pig-skin. It seems that reports had been circulated among the students to the effect that the lecture held in Murphy auditorium was to be singulafized by the presence of two of the famous "four horsemen." Although Lthe cowboys failed to appear, the as semblage was treated' to an exceedingly interesting lecture which consisted for the most part of an insight into the fine points of the recent gridiron struggle between the Tar Heels and the Cava-liers.-;' ".','.,.' i ' '; .'.''.'.'" '. . . ' At . this same lecture the defensive methods, of several prominent coaches were explained and illustrated; the Car olina system wasi then reviewed in com parison with the methods of other institu tions. ,' "' Weather conditions permitted practice on the freshman , field Tuesday and Thursday. : Rain forced the coaches to hold the class in the lecture room of Murphy auditorium Wednesday.

A. Fetzer In suite of thn 11 T-front .nt. . , 7 ' l-ous candi dates for the many branches of varsit and freshman athletics, and the spiendijj opportunity afforded by a Well organ ' ized intra-mural program, there are , till about 50 percent of our students who are not competing in any form 0f co petitiye games. Students come to the University, often at the cost of great sacrifices, to obtain an education. Surely an education that neglects the physical man and disregards the opportunity for the development of the manly traits of character and of learning by actual practice the Invahi. able lessons of sportsmanship cannot be called a complete' education. Quoting from The Commonwealth, Boston, Mass.i "Any system of education, however per fect, must fail if the physical and men tal condition of the person to be edu cated be not healthy, responsive and alert." And again, "What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole curriculum and lose his health?" The necessity for participation in ath letics is far greater and more urgent than It was even ten or twelve years ago, for the tendency is more and more toward the artificial life. We ride in an automobile, instead of walking or even riding on horseback. The old swim ming hole has given place to the tiled bath-tub. We eat prepared foods and spend much time at the drug store and picture show. Too often our only exer-' cise is to the tune of a jazz orchestra. We must supplant this artificial environ ment and sedentary living with out-of-door-mindedness and athletics. This has been- termed the age of in vention, but we still have the problem of inventing something to take the place of health-producing exercise and recrea tion. The University is being called upon to produce real, finished men, ready and willing to take their places in the world. Men who will not be forced aside in modern business or in life by an ailing body. Health is necessary for success in business and in life, and the same ele- -tuents of character that make for suc cess in athletics are welcomed and sought after in the business world. The ideals of sportsmanship, honor, loyalty, cour tesy, initiative, unselfishness, and cour age; what finer characteristics can a man carry with him from his college training when he enters the field of business? There is ample opportunity for every student in the University to participate in some branch of sport. The winter program includes varsity and freshman basketball,, varsity and freshman track, varsity football training, wrestling, box ing, and a complete intra-mural program. Get in line! Form the habit of daily systematic exercise and accept your ob- , ligation as a student of the University of North Carolina to support an athletic program worthy of the leading educa tional institution of the South. The coaches are making an earnest effort to build now for the football season of 1926 and have made an urgent call for candidates. Practice is held at o'clock on the freshman field when weuther conditions permit, and black board drills, discussions, picture illus trations and football films are given when the weather is unfavorable for out door work, in ro6m 111 Murphy Hall at 8 o'clock. Candidates are expected to report every day regardless of weather conditions. O. P. Wimberly, an old resident of Chapel Hill, died Thursday morning in Watts Hospital, Durham.
